EDI Testing and Certification.

Your retail partners want you to use a standard electronic data format. Trust the industry’s leading platform for EDI compliance.

Our process will ensure your company is fully prepared to exchange data with your retail partners.

What is EDI and EDI compliance?

EDI is an abbreviation for electronic data interchange. The term EDI describes both the transmission of the data as well as the translation into a standard data format.

‘EDI compliance’ refers to the ability to send and receive electronic documents in the specific data format that your retail partner requires. To learn more about EDI, check out our EDI 101 guide.

Our EDI testing service will prepare you to meet the compliance requirements of your retail customers–whether you’re adding a new retail partner or expanding an existing relationship.
